We tend to swallow air when we open our mouths to eat, chew gum, talk, or smoke ciga rettes. If we eat too fast and do not chew thoroughly or if we slurp or talk with our mouths full, the amount of air swallowed can in crease significantly. In addition, excess intestinal gas may be produced from high-fiber foods such as beans, broccoli, and cabbage. Persons who are not able to digest milk and dairy products due to an enzyme deficiency often produce gas when consuming dairy products. Medicines which may increase the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract include ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, certain antibiotics, and some medicines used to lower blood cholesterol levels. A medicine available as a single ingredient product or in some over- the-counter antacids is simethicone. This medicine helps eliminate in testinal gas by causing gas bubbles to be broken down or pulled to gether in a form that is more easily passed as flatus or belching. The U.S. Food and Drug Administra tion (FDA) has determined that simethicone is safe and effective for this purpose. Another agent that may be helpful in relieving gas is charcoal. measure in Morrow, Malheur and Gilliam counties, voters in Jefferson, Grant, Lake and Sher man counties will be voting on the same ballot measure at the June 29 election. The Sagebrush Coalition's “ One Senator Per County” pro ject director Gary Marks of Heppner said he was pleased to see the project develop so rapid ly. “ The project is only five months old and already we’ve seen voters in three counties give overwhelming stamps of approval and four other counties prepared to do the same in June,” Marks said. “ I think this should be a wake up call to the legislature that rural Oregonians are dissatisfied with O reg o n ’s system of representation. It’s time the legislature refer a measure to the entire state and let the people decide,” Marks said. In March. Morrow County voters turned in an impressive 77 percent approval rate for the “ One Senator Per County” ballot measure, while voters in Malheur and Gilliam County gave a re sounding 85 percent and 84 per cent approval rate. In April, state Senators Wes Cooley, Gordon Smith and Rod Johnson introduced legislation, SJR41, which would allow a statewide vote on a constitutional amendment to establish a “ One Senator Per County” system. Currently, state senators are elected to districts which are determined by population only. As a result, only four of Oregon’s 30 senators represent citizens who live in counties east of the Cascades. Giving each county one senator would result in Oregon’s east and west sides hav ing 18 senators each. The idea is patterned after similar systems used in the U.S. Senate and the W yoming House of Representatives. another sixth grade teacher. The students funded their pro ject, which cost around $50 for supplies through a no-bake sale. Each student of the class of 1999 donated money to the project.

The theme will be “ Wild About Books” and participants will be encouraged to go wild in explor ing reading on topics they may not have had the opportunity to discover before, said a press release.
